The Chase Even the bravest soldier can be overwhelmed by love From the author of the “captivating, lush, and romantic”* Siren comes an epic novel of adventure, intrigue, and passion that sweeps us back to the dramatic Hundred Days before the Battle of Waterloo—and to a forbidden love affair between a beautiful Englishwoman and a dangerous Frenchman… Jacques Decernay is a Chausseur—a captured soldier who once turned coat to join the lowest ranks of the English army. Charged with desertion and resisting arrest, he escapes a firing squad only because a ravishing Englishwoman comes to his aid. Lady Sophia Hamilton hates the French who took her husband’s life and who threaten the peace she craves for England and her family. In a world gone mad with war, the last thing she should do is fall in love with the enemy, a Frenchman whose true loyalties are a frightening enigma... The Chase Jacques follows Sophia to Sussex, intoxicated by her hidden passion. Meanwhile, as Napoleon marches back into power in France, England too is haunted by traitors within. Sophia is stalked by a man who will stop at nothing to keep a treacherous secret, even if it means involving her in a trail of violence that can end only at Waterloo...
